Nintendo has revealed it will be adding GBA titles Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror to the list of free games it will be offering as part of the 'Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors programme'.
The programme has been designed to compensate early 3DS adopters following an earlier than expected hardware price cut.
Nintendo is to offer 20 free downloadable games to early 3DS buyers in a bid to prevent them "regretting purchasing" the system.
Beginning September 1, eligible users will be able to download ten NES games for free including Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Fight, Ice Climber and The Legend of Zelda. These will be released later in the year as paid downloadable games for other 3DS owners.
Ten exclusive Game Boy Advance Virtual Console games will also be offered. These will include Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and now Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. These games aren't planned for general release in the future.
